THE INTERESTING DISCOVERY OF QUININE Quite an interesting story is attached to the discovery of the medicinal value of Quinine, obtained from the ibark of the Cinchona Tree of the South Ameri* can Andes. In the year 1693, the Countess of Oinohon (wife of the then Viceroy of Peru) was journeying across these remote mountain ranges, and fell seriously ill. While seeking shade and rest beneath a tree, the Countess (after whom the Cinchona tree was '-.named) drank frequently from a pool, into which ' large pieces of the tree's ibark had fallen. She was agreeably surprised tofind that the water possessed very powerful medicinal properties, and that it was napidly curing her of her sickness. She continued to take this strangely-found natural tonic, and was soon cured. Before leaving this spot, the Countess's party majde investigations, and arrived at the conclusion that the bark of the tree, which had been soaking in the pool, had given tho water these peculiar curative powers. Large quantities oi the bark were thereupon gathered and conveyed to Europe by the party, and so the medicinal fraternity of the civilised countries came to bo acquainted with tho Cinchona Bark, now so valuable throughout the world to doctors and chemists. One of tho chief ingredients of Baxter's famous Compound-Quinine Pills is Quinine (from Cinchona Bark) as the name implies, and this fact, coupled 'with the other .powerful ingredients, is the reason why these pills so unfailingly cure. Tho various ingredients are scientifically compounded, and the Pills are invaluable for the treatment and cure of Indigestion, Liver Troubles, and their attendant symptoms. All Indigestion and Liver sufferers sh mid try these renowned Pills. Pri'c<. Is 6d 'box at chemists and stores throughout New Zealand. Start a course now —you'll be poj-man«ntly cured.
